Chapter 756 (1/2)

It was exactly like what Zhou Weiqing had predicted. They had extended their pursuit to the Heavenly Bow Empire to completely resolve their issues in the west by simultaneously annihilating the Heavenly Demon Sect and the entire higher ranks of the Heavenly Bow Empire. Regardless of how formidable an army was, the army would not be able to demonstrate much of its force without a spectacular commander. Furthermore, without higher-tier weapons, attacks from a few powerhouses would be sufficient to eliminate hundreds of thousands from the Heavenly Bow Empire’s armies. At the very least, they would be stuck.

It was naturally Zhou Weiqing who was walking between Demonic Emperor Wu Yunyue and Six Ultimate Heavenly Emperor Long Shiya. He had a faint smile on his face. It seemed like he was on a holiday. They continued walking before they stopped thirty meters away from the Blood Red Hell powerhouses.

The Fourth Elder of Blood Red Hell grunted, “Wu Yunyue, there are only these few people left in the Heavenly Demon Sect? If that’s the case, we’ll grant you a final chance. As long as you’re willing to lead the Heavenly Demon Sect and join the Blood Red Hell, we can overlook everything that has transpired.”

Wu Yunyue’s eyes reddened slightly when he looked at those people. However, he was a Demonic Emperor. Thus, he forcefully contained his fury and said coldly, “Dream on, Fourth Elder. Nobody knows who’ll be the victor today. Since you’ve called us out for a final battle, let’s set the rules today.”

The Fourth Elder of Blood Red Hell laughed out loud before he said, “With just a few of you, you think you make me? You’re nothing more than mere ants in our eyes.”

Zhou Weiqing took two steps forward, distinguishing himself from the duo at his side. He smiled. “I’m Zhou Weiqing, nice to meet you. Since you’re the ones who called for the battle, it’ll only be appropriate for you to give us an explanation. To be honest, I fear death, and I don’t want to die at all. How about we have a bet? If you win, spare our lives and all of us will surrender to the Blood Red Hell.”

Upon hearing what he had said, Third Elder of Blood Red Hell laughed loudly after looking at the charming smile on Zhou Weiqing’s face, “Are you Zhou Weiqing? It seems like you’re nothing more than a young man who’s greedy for life and scared of death. We, the Blood Red Hell, will not casually take in trash.”

The grin on Zhou Weiqing’s face did not falter, “Your words are wrong, senior. I may not be a person with immense talent. However, at the very least I’ve reached Heavenly King Tier in my twenties, I’m not lacking at all potential wise. I didn’t mean that only a few of us will surrender. I’m willing to represent the entire Heavenly Bow Empire in the surrender. I believe all of you are aware that I single-handedly led the reclamation of the Heavenly Bow Empire. Therefore, I’ve the power to make this decision. I don’t know if all of you dare to place this bet?”

Just as Third Elder was about to speak again, First Elder raised his arm and stopped him. He then asked Zhou Weiqing flatly, “How do you want to bet?”

Zhou Weiqing chuckled and said, “Since you called for a battle, we’ll naturally be competing with our powers. You have more people, and we have fewer people. How about this? We’ll have fewer rounds instead. I believe each of you know about the Heavenly Jewel Tournament. I suggest that we fight according to the Heavenly Jewel Tournament’s preliminary rules to decide on the final victor. I’m sorry. I’ve participated in two Heavenly Jewel Tournaments. I managed to advance to the top four after defeating Dandun Empire and achieved the final victory. Therefore, I’m still quite familiar with the rules of combat.”

‘To fight according to the rules of Heavenly Jewel Tournament? Won’t that be four rounds of one-on-one and another round of two-on-two battles?’ They thought.

These Blood Red Hell powerhouses had all been young once. Therefore, quite a number of them had participated in the Heavenly Jewel Tournament before. This arrangement was not foreign to them.

Zhou Weiqing’s suggestion had invoked the interest in quite a few of them. After all, no matter how they looked at it, Zhou Weiqing and his people were not sufficient to threaten the Blood Red Hell. Furthermore, Zhou Weiqing looked like he was just looking for an excuse to justify their surrender.

First Eder said flatly, “What if I don’t agree? You people don’t have the right to be discussing terms with me.”

Zhou Weiqing spread open his arm and said, “If you don’t agree to this, we can only call this off. Our powers may be far inferior to yours but if we run, nobody knows how many of us you’ll be able to catch.”

First Elder’s eyes shone, “Are you saying that if we agree with your bet, you won’t run away?”

Zhou Weiqing nodded and said, “If you win, all of us will surrender. After we’ve surrendered, I believe that the Blood Red Hell won’t treat us poorly. Why would we attempt to escape?”

First Elder’s gaze swept across the Six Ultimate Heavenly Emperor and the Demonic Emperor. “You, a mere youngster, are calling the shots?”

Demonic Emperor Wu Yunyue suppressed the fury and distaste in his heart and nodded strongly. He said, “This is the result of our discussion.”

Six Ultimate Heavenly Emperor Long Shiya was too lazy to speak so he simply nodded in agreement.

First Elder smiled casually and said, “Alright, I’ll agree with this bet. You can send your first representative.”

“Wait,” Zhou Weiqing said, “I have another suggestion.”
